Today Mama and Dada took Jack to the Taste of Chicago in Grant Park. Hundreds of Chicago restaurants set up tents and sell small portions of their most popular menu items. YUM!!
There was a fantastic kids section with a few rides including a carousel. Dada rode with Jack because going around in circles makes Mama want to lose her lunch! Jack chose the yellow horse because its his favorite color and he says "yellow" approximately 500 times a day!
Drinking watermelon juice with fresh fruit. So refreshing!!
Mama and Jack in front of Buckingham Fountain. The very tall white rectangular building in the back is where Dada works :)
Eating vanilla ice cream and contemplating breaking out in dance...
It didn't take much thought! He danced all over the place!
Bye bye 'til next year!

The World's Smallest "Kid's Cone" and the World's Largest "Kid's Cone"
These 2 pictures were taken at 2 different ice cream shops near our house. In both places we ordered the "Kid's Cone" for Jack.
Scooter's Frozen Custard and our proclamation of the World's Smallest Kid's Cone. Cute, isn't it??!!
Anthony's Italian Ice and our proclamation of the World's Largest Kid's Cone. Could an average adult even finish this?? (Jack decided half way through to save time and just take a huge bite out of the very bottom of the cone. That wasn't messy at all!!)
No matter the size, the result is always this:

The Next Tiger Woods, Y'all
Jack's love of golf continues to grow and he rarely is seen around the house without one of his 3 golf clubs. He also asks to watch "gaww" on television and every time he sees the ball hit he yells "GAWW!"
Mama and Dada decided to take Jack Jack to play putt-putt today and boy did he have a blast! It started out with actually playing golf. Yes, he insisted on hitting all 3 balls!
This course was awesome, though, because it had all kinds of fun activities for the littles ones. Here is Jack going head-first down the slide, after he threw his ball down the slide first!
Jack and Dada worked very hard to get the ball to go where they wanted!
Jack's favorite part was the hole where you hit the ball into a rushing stream and then the ball is transported to the bottom. Instead of using the club, Jack just stood at the top and repeatedly threw his balls into the water!
You Too Can Own a Piece of Jack!
Just wanted to let everyone know that you can go to this site

Just Another Saturday in Chicago!
This is a typical Saturday afternoon in Chi-town--sitting outside at a neighborhood bar/restaurant, eating yummy food, watching doggies and babies walk by, and of course enjoying tasty beverages . Yes, I'm talking about milk ;)
Watch Out Milo!
Jack discovered this giant dog rocker at FAO Schwartz's and of course he had to ride it. Let's hope he doesn't try to do the same thing to Milo!!
Mr. Singer!
Jack LOVES music and dancing so we have been going to the zoo every week to see Mr. Singer, Chicago's renowned children's entertainer. At first Jack was the only kid who would brave the carpet in front of Mr. Singer...
but as soon as he started dancing, the other kids joined in!
